The Washington NASA Space Grant Consortium (WSGC) is currently offering
graduate fellowships at the University of Washington for winter or spring
2015.
Applications are desired from graduate students pursuing STEM degrees.
The WSGC fellowship provides a $5,500 stipend award, tuition and GAIP for
either spring or winter 2015. Successful applicants designate which academic
quarter S/he would prefer to apply the fellowship once offers are made.
Applications are due on December 5, 2014 and may be found at the following

The goal of WSGC is to contribute to the nation¹s science enterprise by
funding education, research, and informal education projects through a
national network of university-based Space Grant consortia.

NASA DEVELOP Program for current students, recent college graduates, and
career transitioning professionals including veterans of the Armed Forces.
This is a great opportunity for individuals who are interested in practical
applications of remote sensing and GIS, specifically in the field of Earth
Science. Our projects focus on addressing local and international community
concerns while utilizing NASA's Earth observations. Participants work in
teams to complete rapid research projects in 10 weeks with guidance from
NASA and partner science advisors. These projects demonstrate to partner
organizations how NASA remote sensing imagery can be used in water resource
management, disaster response, ecological forecasting, and other
applications.
DEVELOP participants are challenged to think "outside the box," take
initiative, and employ innovative ideas. They gain valuable management and
leadership experience, along with experience in delivering results to
officials in government, academia, and industry, thereby extending the
benefits of NASA science and technology to the public. Ultimately, DEVELOP
students are better prepared to handle environmental science challenges that
face our society and future generations.
Applicants must have excellent communication and writing skills, and be able
to work in a fast-paced environment. Responsibilities include: literature
review, data processing and analysis, composing of deliverables including a
technical paper, presentation, and video.
Applicants should be able to commit up to 20 hours for our spring and fall
terms, and full-time for the summer term. Both paid and volunteer positions
are offered. Paid positions are funded as consultants using a rate
determined by application type, education level, and location.
Details about the internship and how to apply can be found at
http://develop.larc.nasa.gov/. The summer online application deadline is
February 27th 2015, and the internship dates are June 1st August 7th,
2015. Spring and fall term dates and application windows are also posted on
the Apply page of the DEVELOP website. DEVELOP¹s projects are
interdisciplinary in nature, thus applications are welcome from STEM
academic backgrounds.
International Students:
International students interested in working with the DEVELOP Program must
be currently registered at an accredited U.S. school. International students
are not eligible to apply to NASA Center Locations (Ames, JPL, and others),
however, they are eligible to apply to Regional Locations. There is an
exception for the NSSTC (Marshall Space Flight Center) that allows
international students to apply to this location. Acceptances for
international students are conditional upon proof of a visa or approved OPT
that will allow them to legally work within the U.S. Students who do not
meet these requirements are not eligible to participate in the DEVELOP
Program. Please see the DEVELOP website for details.
In California, we have two location choices:
1) NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View near San Francisco.
2) NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena near Los Angeles.
Applications are given the opportunity to select their 1st and 2nd choices.
Both of these are catered to the NASA Ames Research Center location.
However, all these points also apply to DEVELOP as a whole national program.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions, or send them directly to
NASA-DL-DEVELOP@mail.nasa.gov
